Whose GS Nassau hood did you use. All the GS hoods that I know of are a bit narrow and have the rear corners round and require a good bit of glass work for fit --- Ken

Any chance you'll be bringing this to Corvettes at Carlisle this year?
Would love to see it!

Did you have to widen the hood to get it to fit. I put one of their GS big block hoods like on the Wintersteen and Penske roadsters on my 66. It took a bunch of glass work to get it wide enough. Almost 3/4'' per side. I like your GS look for the car. -------- Ken
